All the (A)birds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs;
Under its branches all the beasts of the field brought forth their young;
And in its shadow all great nations [a]made their home.

‘Thus it was beautiful in greatness and in the length of its branches,
Because its roots reached to abundant waters.
The cedars in the (B)garden of God could not hide it;
The fir trees were not like its boughs,
And the [b]chestnut trees were not like its branches;
No tree in the garden of God was like it in beauty.
